We are privileged to learn and work with young people who are politically curious and aware of global shifts and changes in power. This can be positive and challenging, and this was the case when the situation in the middle east recently imploded.
I know from reading national papers, that our school was not the only school in London to have faced repercussions from global actions far out of the reach of the leadership and management of our small, bespoke school. We pride ourselves on an inclusive ethos, with respect and understanding at the core of our professional and personal practice. However, tensions across our student body were clear to see as international media documented actions taking place across Israel and Gaza.
The Park View High School
I am thinking about the Park View for my childrens high school. It is my closer school.
Do you know if it is the good school that is safe? I have see the performance score in The Standard newspaper and it give me two messages. P8 score is negative! Does this mean the children do not learn well? Do they go then to good college and university? Is there hard discipline for the kids?
The school say I must come to open day to see but will this show what the school is really true?

A 12-year-old girl who died of heart failure in her sleep will be remembered for her love and positivity, her mother says.
Amy India Rose Athwal-Kirby died from sudden arrhythmic death on December 5, despite having no symptoms of the rare syndrome.
Her mother, Beewan Athwal, described the Hornsey School for Girls student as “caring and kind”, and someone who had a “lovely way of making everyone around her feel special”.
The family are now fundraising in Amy’s memory for the charity, Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), to try to prevent other children losing their lives in the same way, without warning.

Local headteachers have welcomed the government’s decision to allow schools to reopen on March 8.
On Monday the prime minister Boris Johnson announced that the return of pupils would form part of the first step of easing lockdown restrictions, amid falling Covid infections.
All primary school children will return on March 8 and they will not need to take a coronavirus test, but secondary school students – whose return may be slightly more staggered – will have to.
